I'm on the eastern side of that on the coast - so just very heavy rain at the moment.
temp/dp: 5.8C/4.8C but falling steadily now.
This is my weather station data:

The lunchtime BBC1 local forecast was pants! Hill snow and sleet tonight - no mention of wintriness to low levels, then rain over the weekend with much colder temperatures on Sunday. Again no mention of snow to low levels. I hope we aren't over-hyping it in here but surely there will be snow to low levels!? As you say, poor forecasts on the specifics!

Absolutely - great summary! Seen about 3 or 4 snow showers today at sea level and the models suggest many more to come at various stages over the next few days! Superb winter weather with plenty more to come
